Summary, etc. Views on the future for the Third World are divided. One scenario emphasizes the potential<br/>of urbanization and industrial growth, presuming that liberalization and export orientation<br/>will produce a take-off into a technology-driven, trade-dependent economic growth. The<br/>other more despairing view foresees many, if not all, Third World countries collapsing due<br/>to growing populations, environmental degradation and civil disorder. The contributors to<br/>this volume are not ready to accept either view. With their rich and instructive experiences<br/>in rural development, they contend that rural and, ultimately, national collapse is not<br/>preordained while maintaining that all expectations need not be pinned on the urban sector.<br/>This unique collection brings together eighteen of the world's most exemplary rural<br/>development success stories. Significantly there are more case studies from Asia seven<br/>are from South Asia and three from Southeast Asia, with four each from Africa and Latin<br/>America-reflecting the larger numbers of people living in Asia and the stronger traditions<br/>there of large-scale collective self-help. Presented in the words of their originators and<br/>managers, each of the cases illustrate how the lives of millions of poor and marginal<br/>households have been uplifted through their own efforts, assisted by the well-conceived<br/>and persistent efforts of inspired individuals, government agencies, universities, NGOs, or<br/>donors.<br/>Given the immensity and the urgency of the needs of the world's poor, both rural and<br/>urban, it is important to expand successful programmes of the type documented in this<br/>book. This expansion must occur at a pace and in ways that are consistent with organizational<br/>capabilities while retaining the confidence and creativity of all involved.<br/>Taken as a whole, this book provides concrete evidence that there are reasons for hope for<br/>the future of the Third World—which mainly depends on finding ways to make rural life<br/>more productive so that urban societies and economies are surrounded and supported by<br/>vigorous, progressive rural communities. Presenting as it does a remarkable set of rural<br/>development success stories across various sectors in fifteen countries, this book will be<br/>essential reading for economists, policy planners, political scientists, rural sociologists and,<br/>above all, those involved with development issues.
